And the answer would be 'almost nothing'.
I've looked up the price of some embroidery thread (the postage is going to cost as much as the thread!), checked out some pens, and spent a long time researching Ronald Blythe after reading this Guardian
article; https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/nov/16/ronald-blythe-home-nature-reserve-akenfield
He sounds as though he was a genuinely lovely man. I'm sure I read his most famous book, 'Akenfield ' many many years ago. A quick browse on the internet has turned up dozens of titles. It looks as though he is as keen on writing and reading diaries as I am; I love having books which are divided up month by month so that I can read them throughout the year. I will be adding a selection to my Wantables page in due course!
